gigantic 20-foot great white shark said to be the world&#8217;s largest stalking the seas."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep Blue, a 2.5-ton behemoth with massive fins and razor-sharp teeth, is an amazing eight feet tall and weighs a whopping 2.5 tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mesmerizing creature, said to be over 50 years old, dwarfs divers daring to swim beside her in stunning photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the massive great white was initially captured on camera off the Shore of Guadalupe Island in Mexico in 2014, it sent shockwaves around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla shared a video of her in 2015, it went viral almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep Blue may have been pregnant when she was discovered, as female great whiles are known to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July 2018, the gorgeous ocean beast was photographed once more just off Mexico&#8217;s west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divers Thanks to a tag she was implanted with, Mark Mohler and Kimberly Jeffries were able to identify her as Deep Blue, and marine experts recognized her unique markings on her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyrapidnews.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16785\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts say Deep Blue is the largest great white ever seen, having lasted for more than five decades despite pollution, shooting, and fishing, all of which shorten their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite their notoriety for being dangerous sharks, Deep Blue does not have an aggressive personality, according to experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ocean Ramsey, a marine biologist, was previously photographed swimming beside the monster while grasping one of her fins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her calm demeanor was attributed in part to the fact that she had just consumed a whale carcass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, a Discovery Channel diver who swam with the shark as part of a Shark Week documentary, gave her the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 2015 TV episode, Padilla was seen reaching out of a metal shark cage and caressing her fin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great white sharks are rarely spotted in Hawaii because they prefer cooler seas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep Blue, a 2.5-ton behemoth with massive fins and razor-sharp teeth, is an amazing
